Mystery Game Central - Murder Mystery Games and Party Kits

The date is Dec. 28, 1979. Disgraced New York detective turned salesman Kyle Hyde checks into the seedy Hotel Dusk in Los Angeles and suddenly finds himself embroiled in a 30-year-old murder mystery that involves lies, betrayal, kidnapping, and murder.

The dual screens of the portable Nintendo DS gaming system display stylized sketch animation evoking a comic-book-like film noir. The game features deep characters, grown-up themes and an engrossing plot that will appeal to mystery lovers and video game fans alike. As the plot develops, players must make choices before they begin each conversation, like deciding whether to strong-arm a subject or play it cool. Players hold the portable Nintendo DS system sideways like a book, and the touch-screen controls make it easy for newcomers to pick up and play, even if they have never played a video game before.
